PREFACE.
For publishing the compressed edition of the
English Baronetage, which is brought down to
the period of the last creation (April 1, 1806)
no apology is requisite. Much pains has beeu
taken by the Editor to render it correct; and,
while the portability of its form must recom-
mend it to public notice, its being the only
emvpLie work of the kind gives it a claim to
universal patronage.
To the English Baronets, Baronets of Great
Britain, and of the United -Kingdom, are sub-
joined accounts of some Scottish Baronets of
English families ; or resident in England ; with
correct, lists of all the Scottish and Irish Ba-
ronets.
INTRODUCTION.
JL HE order of Baronets, which is the first a-nonjf the
gentry, and the only knighthood that is hereditary, was
instituted by King Jamis the First in the yea,r 1611, who
limircd the number to two hundred; but since that period
they have been gre;itly increased. One thousand three
hundred and eighty-two Baronets of England, Great
Britain, and of the United Kingdom, have been created;
and excin8i\rely of those who have attained the rank of
nobility, the;e are now existing upwards of five hundred.
The title Sir is granted to ihem, by a clause in dieir
patents; their wives are Ladies; and they have prece-
dence before all Knights, except Knights of the Garter,
Knights who are Privy Councillors, or Knights Bannerets,
made under the King's banner or standard.
It is understood, that the rebellion of the Irish, in the
province of Ulster, gave rise to this order; as a Baronet,
on his creation, must pay into the Exchequer as much as
will maintain thirty soldiers for three years, at eight-pence
per day, in the province of Ulster, in Ireland, which
amounts to nearly 1 100/. sterling *.
A Baronet of England, Great Britain, or of the United
Kingdom, has the privilege to bear, in a canton of his
coat of arms, or in a whole escutcheon, the arms of Ulstci",
* This has been dispensed with of late years.

viz : hi a Jidd, argent j a sinister hand^ gules. To be qua-
lified, the person ought to be a gentleman born, and have
a clear estate of 1000/. per annum.
The order of Baronets in Scotland was projected by
King James the Sixth, to encourage the colonization of
the proviiice of Nova Ssrotia, in America, the first settle-
ment made by the Scots beyond the Atlantic ; but he
dying before Lis intentions were accomplished, his son,
King Charles the First,, in the first year of his reign, exe-
cuted his royal father's plan, and Instituted this order im-
mediately after his accession. In the patents granted previ-
ously to the year 1G29, his Majesty declared and ordained,
that the Earonets, and their Jieir» male, should, as an
addition of honour to their armorial ensigns, bear,, either
on a canton, or inescutcheoii, at their option, the eiisign
of Nova Scotia, being Argait^ a cress of' St. /^iidreiv, azure,
tharged with an inescuicheon of tiie royal arms of Scotland ;
supported on the dexter by the royal unicorn, and on the
finister ly a savage^ or wild man, proper ^ and, for the
crest, A branch of laurel and a thistle, issui7ig from two
hands conjoined^ the one being armed,' and the other naked ;
with thi<motto, Manet hcec, et altera vincit. ^ In the patents
granted in tlie year 1629, and subsequently thereunto, the
above clause was omitted, but another privilege gi"anted;
viz : that the Baronets, and their heirs male, shall wear,
and carry about their necks, anujrange tannic silk ribbon,
v.'hcreon shall be pendent, in a scutcheon, argent, asaltire,
azure ; thereon an inescutcheon of the arms of Scotland,
with an imperial crown above the scutcheon ; and encii-
cled with this motto, F«j: mentis honesta gloria. This

badge of distinction was lost, during the usurpation of the
Long Parliament, and Of Oliver Cromwell, but was re-
stored in the year 1775.
The order of JBaronets in Ireland was instituted by
King James the First, in the 17th year of his reign, sooa
after h^s creation of the like dignity in England. The
Irish Baronets were to enjoy the same privileges as those
of England ; they were also to assist in the reduction of
Ulster ; they had the same arms assigned to them ; and
were to pay into the treasury of Ireland the same fees, &:c
as paid in England. They have no established prece-
dence in this part of the kingdom, but are on the same

ants, Galfridus Ridel II, assisted the Normans in the re-
duction of Apulia, and William the Conqueror In his
expedition against England, where he was rewarded with
large grants of land. It would far exceed the limits o^
this work, to particularise the several succeeding distin-
guished personages of this family, which preserved in a
great measure its grandeur and importance, until the
reign of Henry VI. when they entirely lost their posses*
sims in France, and much of thdx .Epglish. property. In

thaf Comes Roherh/s de Comine, who canJe'f^ England
with William the Conqueror, was proo;enitor of all the
Cumins in this country. It appears from other autho»
rities, that the family of Robert Cnmine, Earlof North-
umberland, Avas settled in Britain before the Conqueror
came over. Others are of opinion, that they are of the
aniicnt inhabitants of Scotland; for the second abbot of
Icolmkilf, in 597, was Cumine. It is agreed, however,
that tiie Cumines had large possessions in lands, and much
greater power than any other name in Scotland whatever,
fnomf the rei^ of Malcolm III. to that of Kmg Robert
Bruce. From the Cumines, Lords of Badenoch, chiefs oftbt
Vhoie clan, were descended the Cumines, Earls of Buchaij,
Earls of Monteith-, &c.; but the direct male line of these
families has long since failed. Alexander Cuming, cif
Ahyn, Esq. (sixteenth in descent from Sir John Cumine,
Lord of Badencvch, who died 1249) married Grace, daugh-
. ter of Penrose, and niece and sole heiress of Johti
Penrose, of Penrose, in Cornwall, Esq. ; by whom he had

Cornwall, while his brother Odo de Burgho, Bishop of
Baieux, bore the title of Earl of Kent. One^branch of
Robert de Burgho's family went to Ireland in the reign of
Henry the lid, and there gave rise to the noble families
of Clanricarde, Mayo, and several other families of di-

the present Baronet is descended, settled in Lincolnshire,
and was ennobled in the reign of Elizabeth, who, on send-
ing Sir Thomas Burroughs, then a knight of the garter,

Sir JOHN DOYLE, Heutenant-generalonthe staff of, the;
Island of Guernsey, born at Dublin, 1756, was created a
Baronet as above. Sir John was originally intended for.
the law, and was entered of one of the Inns of Court, of.
London; but, on the death of his father, he purch.ased
an ensigncy in the 48th regiment, and afterward?, in 1775^,
exchanged into the 40th, on that regiment being ordered
to i^merica, where he continued to serve with great credit
until 1782, having then attained the rank of Miijor. After
his return from America, in that year, he was elected M.P.' .
for MuUingar ; and, subseq*iently, was appointed private,
secretary to the Prince of Wales, which office he held uin-^
til the dissolution of his Royal Highness's establishment. .
At the commencement of the late war, 1793, he raised a"
regiment (the 87th, or Prince of Wales's regiment) and
shortly after was advanced by brevet promotions to the
rank of colonel. In 1794 he accompanied Ix)rd Moira on

ing to the north of the River Trent, under pain of losing
their heads, fixed himself as near that stream as the thick
forest of Cannock, now indeed stripped of its woods,
would then allow. From that time to the present, the
family has lived in a substantial and honourable inde-
pendence, matched with divers families of good note,
occasionally dividing itself into various heads and colla-
teral branches, as appears from a manuscript of Sir Simon
Degge, who wrote observations on Staffordshire families,
in the year 1669, of which, the following is an extract.
•' At Barr, are the seats of several families of the Scotts,
whereof Thomas * le Scott, the principal is owner of a
pretty gentleman's estate, but may justly be accounted the
prince of the yeomanrj, he continuing the old manner of
housekeeping, in hospitality to strangers and relieving the
poor ; and as he is not sparing to himself in taking the
recreation with his hounds, when his other affairs will
give leave, so is he not ashamed to put his hand to the
plough to encourage his servants; and in truth, in these
parts, I know none equals his yeoman-like manner of
living ; but many that take upon them to be gentleman-
like, come far behind him, both in estate and manner of
living."
The lands possessed by these several families, of which
in the year 1690 there were not less than nine, all free-
holders, are for the most part now centred (the name
of Scott entirely) in the present Baronet.
* To this Thomas le Scott the family arms were grant-

gules, cottized, azure, three lambs, between three Catha-

Crest — A beacon fired, laddered, gules, on a mountain^
